A 21-year-old man has been sentenced to prison for supplying Class A and Class B drugs, following an investigation led by Warwickshire Police.

Nathan York appeared at Warwick Crown Court on Friday 9 May.

In October 2024, an intelligence-led, proactive investigation was launched into the supply of Class A drugs in Rugby.

Officers worked alongside the Regional Organised Crime Unit, where Ketamine, MDMA and Ecstasy were seized from York's home address.

He was arrested and charged, and subsequently pleaded guilty at court, where he was sentenced to three years' imprisonment for being involved in the supply of Ketamine, MDMA and Ecstasy.

As part of the wider investigation, a firearm was also retrieved from a location in Leicestershire.

A 21-year-old man from Lutterworth was convicted of possession of a firearm and was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment, suspended for two years.

Investigating officer, Detective Constable Simon Harvey from Rugby's Serious Organised Crime team said:

"This investigation involved working with our partners at West Midlands Regional Organised Crime Unit and external Firearms Examiners, as well as our Scenes of Crime Officer colleagues and the Crown Prosecution Service.

"It was a successful outcome which has removed a viable firearm off the street and removed a drug supply line from our communities – ultimately safeguarding the general public."
